Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Jets: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Maurice Smith at pick 187 is 58 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the 10th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
No drama and no debate, Brenden Rice went about where he belonged in pick No. 72. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
By-the-book stuff, Leonard Taylor III at Round 4, Pick 11 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at No. 147 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187 Rnd6 Maurice Smith
They reached a country mile for Maurice Smith at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
They took Trevor Keegan at par in slot 229, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue in No. 255 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick256 Rnd7 Amari Gainer
They left a pile of value on the table to take Amari Gainer this early at pick 256. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
